The Shadow Knows...

Today was my final project for my advanced audio production. We had to put on a radio drama which aired on WMCO and also could be viewed live. It was something cool to be a part of because WMCO doesn’t put on radio dramas anymore and it was nice to be a part of something that is so rare. It’s possible that we started something new for WMCO to do.

I was the Foley Director. I was in charge of creating the sound effects in the live production.  This was a little bit difficult because it was hard to execute the sounds in person. I had to make a seagull noise with a dog toy, a gunshot noise with 2 blocks of wood and I had to have the sound of wind by using a wind machine. Over all it was a good experience.

We have been working on this for many weeks. We had auditions and have had practices. I have recorded different noises and tried to figure out different noises that could work for the plays. We ended up doing 2 plays from The Shadow plays. We also had the play A baby from Krypton. It was a class bonding thing that we all grew together as a class. We have had a rough semester and we are all glad that this part is over.
